Suffering from a long streak of insomnia Fight Club’s estranged (and unnamed) narrator seeks help from various support groups until he meets Marla Singer, another evening meeting goer mirroring his own fraud. Desperate to feel alive he leaves his lackluster job when he comes under the thrall of Tyler Durden, an enigmatic young man who holds secret after-hours boxing matches, or 'Fight Clubs' in the basements of bars . . .
A masterpiece of raw violence and black humor, Fight Club challenges readers to see the world through a new (and quite possibly deranged) set of eyes with Chuck Palahniuk proving himself to be his generation’s most visionary satirist in this gloriously original debut work that exposes the darkness at the core of our modern world.
